“I want to bring awareness around
the topic of depression and explore the reasons why extreme emotional pain can
lead someone to commit the ultimate action to end their lives. It’s a very taboo
subject-matter. I hope that this poetic take on suicide helps bring light into
the lives of those struggling with darker circumstances. Reaching out to someone
who is suffering can truly make a difference.”, says director Patricia
Chica
Winner of the Best Short Film
Award at the Magnolia Independent Film Festival; of a Silver Remi
Award at Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival and of
the Scottiabank Award for Most Original Film at the Lakeshorts Film
Festival, Serpent’s Lullaby presents a dark, haunting, and emotive tale
with a contemporary twist on the myth of Medusa.
“The chthonic character coming into
a modern world but holding onto the ritual of burial is poignant.
Director Patricia
Chica executes the story well and the
script written by Charles
Hall has emotional
resonance”, says Ed Hovey of Soresport Movies
Reviews. Trevor Michael Elvis
Zimmermann of Terror in Toronto qualifies the film as “beautifully shot and well-acted, the story pulls
you in without any need for exposition. Big thumbs up”.

lovelife
Few people know the
name of the eccentric woman living in the centuries-old mansion just outside of
town. Even fewer have seen her face. But everyone has heard the stories. Rumors
of a secret garden in her backyard where her children are buried. Some think she
is simply a grieving widowed mother seeking solitude. Others believe she's a
cold-blooded monster. When the empty baby’s crib in her home and her lost love
become too much for her to bear she makes a decision that will change the course
of her story.
